I really wanna get an 8 core system. I was very disapointed when I found out Intel Ivy Bridge is only going to be 4 core, with the rest of the die wasted on a crappy gpu. I think servers are the only real option for 8 core, what setup are you getting? How much you paying?

i bought the book for my stepdad for christmas it's available for free online.

the singularity is among the most compelling possibilities for a non-dystopian (i.e. utopian) future of humanity, in which we all transcend this squishy substrate to become a combined post-human entity, that hopefully gets to see the end of the universe through acting in unison towards a common destiny (at fucking last! certainly the present political system won't get us there...)

btw, i'm moving to newcastle, england next year. i still hold ambitions of doing some media work together someday, the realistic chance of which seems to be improving

you're one of the people i would've liked to beta test my new flame rendering app, but development on that has stalled with this new 3d renderer i might pick it up again after exams finish in november.

it's rendered with my old 3d fractal rendering app, from june/july 2006 (when i first started collaborating with *Aexion). you can check a render made with my new one here: [link] (my next deviation is gonna rock it, which is why that one is in scraps )
